proper-fs


Node fs API tweaked for modern usage.

What?

Same as Node.js's native fs module, but with the following changes:
- Promise-based async methods. Uses Node's native util.promisify for lowest possible overhead.
- Sync methods included as-is.
- Deprecated methods are not included.
- watchFile/unwatchFile are not included, due to watch being the recommended method.
- Exports isCaseSensitive boolean after checking the current platform.
- Additional helper methods:
- fileExists and fileExistsSync
- directoryExists and directoryExistsSync
- ensureDirectory and ensureDirectorySync

Why?

Node 8 is currently (July 2018) LTS. Async/await is natively supported, but native async fs methods are callback-based. I find myself promisifying Node's methods over and over. Node 10 already exposes Promise-based API, but I needed a low-overhead solution that works on both Current and LTS versions.
